Spacieux rental. Well furnished and we felt like home.
This was a wonderful place! We enjoyed our stay. It was easy access to Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. It was new, clean, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. The washer and dryer were nice. There wasn't an AC, but there were 3 floor fans and it cooled down nicely.

We enjoyed a very relaxed stay at the Jungle Bungalow. Delighted in waking up to bird song in the morning and falling asleep to the sweet chirpping of frogs in the evening. Strolls along the calm neighborhood street and taking in the lush vegetation was enjoyed also. We did have to plan on at least a 20 minute drive to Hilo, let alone longer to other sites of interest, yet they always provided beautiful scenic views of the plants and trees abundant with life and gorgeous cloud formations over the mountains and coastline.
The bungalow was quaint and lovely. Loved hearing the doves, frogs, roosters. There were bugs but that’s expected in this area. No A/C but with the fans and closing the curtains while we were gone during the day it kept the place cooler. They also provide extra fans if needed. The tap water tastes good. The lanai is very nice, the table inside is great too. For a couple or small family who intends to explore…this is a great place.
Clean property and easy to find however the kitchen needs a revamp and the overall space could use some changes in furniture. No drawers in bathroom or bedroom even though there is plenty of space and the kitchen had zero pans to use in the provided oven.
The property is true to listing. The jungle bungalow was a perfect fit for our (couple) 3 night stay. It’s a great size and beautifully decorated, also very clean, quiet, and private. The location is a bit off the beaten path, but is a solid home base. The unit does not have AC and it got quite warm during the day, but cools enough at night for sleeping. Owner provides a nice little guide book that was really helpful! Bungalow is well equipped with everything you may need. It’s about 25 minutes from Hilo, which can be a pain during rush hour it becomes more like 35-45 minutes. Regardless, there are tons of things to do in any direction from the bungalow. We would definitely stay again!
I totally enjoyed my 8 night stay. Clean and a nice homey set up for me.
I was able to enjoy the island and come home to a very relaxing retreat!

Beautiful paradise experiance. Thanks for the nice to-do suggestions
Very clean. Loved that there was a kitchen. It was everything the add describes. Driveway was a little hard to find at night. Didn’t know which cottage was our at first. Maybe some signs would be helpful. Other than that we were more than satisfied with stay.

Beautiful home to go to after hiking and exploring all day. The bed isn’t super comfortable but it is a bed and honestly it didn’t matter much, we were so tired. It felt so nice without the ac. The chickens never failed to make me smile in the morning. This home is definitely worth what we paid. Also, if you don’t want ants, make sure to do the dishes. We almost messed up on that one.
Property was very nice. Clean and comfortable. Could have used some more shelves in bathroom and bedroom. Nowhere to put toiletries and clothes. Would have nice to have had an oven safe pan/dish for c use of the oven. And while I realize one x doesn't come to Hawaii to watch television, occasionally when it is pouring rain, or after a long day out, it'd be nice to watch some television on a larger screen. But all that is kind of nit-picking. It was a great rental and I'd be fortunate to return.

Reviewer Comments:
We really enjoyed our one month stay at the Barefoot Bungalow. The location was conveniently located between the ocean, towns of Keaau and Pahoa, and not much further to Hilo. We were also less than an hour from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and beautiful tropical gardens north of Hilo. The bungalow was immaculately clean. We had great customer service from all the staff at Saltwater Hawaii. While we do wish there was laundry in the bungalow, there was a laundromat close by in Keeau. The property was very private from not only the public, but from the other guest homes on the property.

This place was exactly what you dreamed of. It was raining during our 3-night stay, but we had a wonderful time staying at the bungalow. There was a gallon of welcome water in the fridge and were sufficient cooking essentials. It was rainy and cold at night. We requested an extra blanket which was brought soon after we requested it. There was a misunderstanding about the laundry facilities, but the owner promptly accommodate our request. Very cute and isolated bungalow, hence it's still close to Hilo /Volcano National Park.
Our stay was short but nice at the bungalow. T he property was just as listed on vrbo. Small and quaint, perfect for four people Our only issue was being locked out of the gate on our last day and having to park outside. Communication with the property manager was unsuccessful by phone/text. They did issue a refund which was appreciated but would have rather not been locked out in the first place. We had to drag our luggage in the rain and haul over fence. They assured me communication would be improved for future guests so hope my experience can help.

This little house is very cute with all the amenities of home. This is a very rural area and it was quite relaxing. The host was very responsive to the questions we asked. The place was very clean and comfortable.
